BTW while we are on the topic of Pelle and the Porche.  My kid had a game at the Flyers practice facility in Vorhees NJ, so while they were dressing and warming up I made a pilgrimage to the site of Pelle’s demise.

 

The Sommerdale school is long closed down and boarded up and looks like a haunted house.  That horrible wall is still there along with the steps he crashed into.  I sat there at the impact zone (that corner in the attached photo) and while I didn’t cry I did get very emotional and thought about Pelle the rest of the weekend.  It brought back a flood of memories and that gnawing feeling of “what if”? / “if only”!  I mean if he had hit the wall he would have sideswiped it and bounced off and had some injuries and paid a hefty fine for DUI.  But he had to ram into that opening where the stairway is. 

 

I wasn’t prepared for how much visiting would grip me and affect me to be honest.  It was surreal.

 

 

I get what you're saying.  I too pass by there on occasion and always remember him and that tragic night.  So incredibly sad.

Great to have you back! I, too, have started to watch on occasion. I have been using the temp of this board as my gauge. It seems somewhat safe these days!

Go Flyers!!!!

I just had my daughter (13) …. Watch for the first time…. She loved the goalie fight!  

Thanks for the great find and sharing.  Just sent it over to my Dad (who is stuck in Coyotes country) but a full on Flyers fan (had season tickets as soon as they arrived). 

Sure do miss the good 'ol days!!!  Hopefully better days to come!  Cheers!

What period does Giroux score the obligatory goal all former Flyers are required to do every time they play against the Flyers?

 

 

Apparently the 3rd...

If San Jose loses they break the all time record for most losses to begin a season. 

Honestly I don't know who's under the most pressure, the sharks certainly don't want that ignominy but the flyers certainly don't want to be the first team to lose to them 

Assuming it's a Flyers' record they'll be breaking???

Looks like Ersson is getting the start tonight!

Well, they've got a couple of new jerseys out now, so I'm really excited for the team to be relevant on the Philadelphia "landscape", again. It looks like the franchise is really learning what the true fans, really want. More merch to buy.  

And now I know why I rec'd an email the other day for 90% off all Flyers and Sixers merchandise at the Wells Fargo Center.  Can wait to spend another couple hundred dollars on a new Flyers jersey, not!!!!!!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads!!  Hope you all have a great day and and treated with the respect and admiration you deserve!

Cheers~!!!

Who is this Nick Schultz they speak of?

I agree, it was all tongue in cheek, Torts will remind each one what we're fighting for.

He is the animal we never invite but the beast of burden that will continually plow thru to get things started.

 

 

Awesome song!! Never saw the video, quite interesting...

Perhaps they can't find anyone else who wants to head up this dumpster fire of a hockey team so they have to look closer to 'home'.  You couldn't pay me enough to do it.

He a 10% owner in the Sixers and Devils, partner in HSE which is Josh Harris' outfit that owns majority in both.

 

I could see him wanting his own pool to splash around in.

We can certainly dream, anything to get them the hell away from Concast!!!!

That's David Adelman.

Not sure how being a partner in an organization that owns another NHL team works out, but happy to learn.

 

Perhaps he can sell the Devils and purchase the lowly Flyers at a steep discount!

Who are they?  A couple of them look familiar…

I get Forsberg and Kimmo, the guy from Bones (I think) who always wore Flyers' stuff on the show and ????

The Flyers should easily win this game. The Pens have no interest in winning games. All these games are is an all skate. Final score 6-4 Flyers! 

Have you met the Flyers?

How do I quit the internet? I just want to forget the Flyers exist and then tune back in ten years from now when they are relevant again. I want to be ignorant of everything thats happening and pretend it never did

Don't you mean...if they are relevant again?

I miss Simon Gagne

The O&B are heavy favorites (-213)  and we've taken six of the last seven matchups.

The Blackhawks are a much better faceoff team, but we are equal to or better in other categories:

Do we help them compete for Bedard? 

 

 

We would hope we wouldn't help them for the #1 pick, but we've been playing some 'solid' hockey lately so......

You just know Hayes is going to take him under his wing and teach him everything he knows.

 

And on a second note, that goal celebration isn't going to end well one day. 

Maybe we can get him up soon and take out some of our overpaid contracts with that swing!

It does definitely look like a serious potential danger!!

This year the Flyers have shown signs of improvement.   This might be a very good game Monday night.  Both teams can score. It will be the first time I've seen the Flyers in a while.   My Sabres are knocking on the door.  Young team is coming together led by Thompson and Tuch.  Thompson is already in the all star game. Im voting for Dahlin and Tuch to get in as well. And this kid Owen Power is going to be some player. I have seen his ability to stickhandle and pass with the best of them.  His defense needs work of course. He is a rookie. This team is very young and I see a ton of promise. I am not sure how Granato will handle things when he gets some injured players back.  I would prefer they trade Jokuharu.  Hinestroza can be used.  He reallly works and is good with the puck.  5 point night for Dahlin last night.  And Olofsson had a big night with the game winner and two goals. Thompson got his 31st.  Luukenen played well.  

Lack of interest is an understatement. It is painful to watch a once storied franchise implode the way the Flyers have. Maybe some day they'll be watchable, but for now it just hurts too much. I am thinking of becoming a Phillies fan, or watching paint dry 

Happy New Year Everyone!!!!

Here's hoping 2023 is better for all of us!!!

Cheers!!!
